OpenAI showed off the company's first custom artificial intelligence chip designed in conjunction with Broadcom on Wednesday, as it seeks to speed its development of its infrastructure.
AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic are struggling to obtain enough computing horsepower to run the latest, most powerful chatbots and coding apps. Some, such as OpenAI, have turned to developing in-house chips in order to reduce the cost and create an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) that are commonly used for AI.
